Growing up in Daaden in the district of Altenkirchen (Westerwald) , Thomas Kraft started with the local sports fans when he was eight . Four years later he moved to VfB Wissen , which he left in 2002 to move to SG 06 Betzdorf . Kraft worked for FC Bayern Munich from 2004 to 2011. There he first played for the U-19 juniors , with whom he lost the final of the German A-Junior Championship at FC Schalke 04 in the 2005/06 season .
FC Bayern Munich
As of the 2006/07 season , Kraft was a contract player and third goalkeeper in the extended professional squad of FC Bayern. There he was used for the first time in the winter break of 2006/07, in the 4: 3 win over Olympique Marseille in the game for third place in the Dubai Cup . Due to injury-related failures of Oliver Kahn and Bernd Dreher , Thomas Kraft was a substitute for Michael Rensing in the professional squad at Bundesliga and UEFA Cup games several times in the 2007/08 season , but was not used. At the beginning of the 2008-09 season , Kraft signed a professional contract with the first team. At the same time he was the goalkeeper of the second team, first in the Regionalliga Süd and from 2008 in the 3rd division .
From the 2010/11 season Kraft was the second goalkeeper behind Hans Jörg Butt in the first team's squad. For this he made his competitive debut on August 7, 2010 in a 2-0 victory for the Supercup - revived after 14 years - against FC Schalke 04 . For his first appearance in the Champions League , Kraft came on November 23, 2010 (5th matchday) in the 2: 3 defeat in the away game against AS Roma . On the following day he was used again for 90 minutes in the 3-0 win against FC Basel . On January 12, 2011, coach van Gaal announced that he would start the second half of the season with Thomas Kraft as number 1 in goal. Three days later, on matchday 18, Kraft made his debut in a 1-1 draw in the away game against VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga with a good performance: first he prepared Thomas Müller's 1-0 in the 7th minute, then , in the 45th minute, saved a penalty from Brazilian Grafite . After van Gaal's dismissal in April 2011, interim coach Andries Jonker ordered Jörg Butt back into goal for the last five game days of the season. At the end of the 2010/11 season, Kraft did not extend his expiring contract with Bayern Munich and left the club.
Hertha BSC
Signed free of charge from league rivals Hertha BSC , he signed a contract valid until June 30, 2015 and made his debut on August 6, 2011 (1st matchday) in the 0-1 defeat at home against 1. FC Nürnberg .
After losing the relegation second leg against Fortuna Düsseldorf on May 15, 2012 and insulting referee Wolfgang Stark , Thomas Kraft was banned from the DFB for the first four games of the second division season 2012/13 .
After his contract with Hertha BSC was not renewed after the end of the 2019/20 season , Kraft ended his active career for health reasons.
